Occasionally it is possible to gather a frond from a tree. This is a rare occurrence and may be random. Clicking the tree will provide, in addition to the usual wood-gathering option, an option to take a palm frond from the tree.

- The few fronds I've discovered have always come from a Royal Palm. -- Hekatef
- Others have found fronds from other trees, including Kaesha, Fern Palm (Qetesh), and Stout Palms (Qetesh). -- mjr
- They also can be found with "fast gather wood from trees" option on all you have to do is click the tree again after you have got the wood -- Ferns
- One theory was that fronds appear on trees that haven't been harvested in x amount of time. I believe this is false, or at the very least incomplete, as I've found a Royal Palm that is unreachable, and yet has no frond. -- mjr (How could you tell?)
- Resin doesn't seem to affect it, I've gotten fronds with and without resin. Also got fronds from two trees within 3 or 4 coordinates of each other. I don't think it's a fixed amount of time, I got fronds off about 15 trees in a remote area, then went back the next day and got 1. Got 1 or 2 more the next day. Maybe it's a 1 in 7 chance for each RL day for each tree. -- Matk
- Fronds definitely seem more common on Royal Palm, i have a group of seven near my camp and regularly get a frond from at least one of them - every second real life day, if not every day, when gathering wood - suspect I may even have had one every game day -- Justin
- I'm not sure about the comment regarding collecting fronds from other trees. I ran from 7L to Lower Egypt checking every tree I could along the way. I collected 13 fronds and all of which came from Royal Palm. Not 1 from a Fern Palm or Stout Palm. I have done this run several times in the past and am certain that I have only ever gotten fronds from Royal Palm. -- Toos
- I have collected over a hundred palm fronds and never found them in any other tree than Royal Palm. -- Lousku
